FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention generally relates to information systems for vehicles(road transportation, urban transportation, railway transportation)including a central station (host) with database, and a plurality ofdata end points, one data end point on each vehicle; and in particularto a system intended for transmitting to the data end points variouskinds of data consumed by the passengers. Each data end point has areceiver for receiving signals from a Global Positional System (GPS),and operates according to these GPS signals, based on at least 3satellites.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

There are many patents concerning usage of GPS receivers on vehicles.Global Positional System (GPS) is a space-based radio-positioning andtime transfer system. GPS provides accurate position, velocity, and time(PVT) information for the data end points in a vehicles, anywhere on theface of earth it is. GPS has at least 3 satellites, each of whichbroadcasting radio frequency (RF) ranging codes and navigation datamessages. Each navigation data message includes such data as satelliteclock-bias data, ephemeris data (precise orbital data of the satellite),central correction data, and satellite almanac data (coarse orbital dataon all satellites).

In U.S. Pat. No. Re 038781 (Aug. 23, 2005) there is disclosed a vehicledata processing system which can communicate with an information center.This system has vehicle data end points and an information center. Thevehicle data end point includes an on-vehicle data processor and anoff-vehicle input unit, independently located in the operator's home oranother place. The data processor has a data receiving portion and adata transmitter for transmitting a start signal to the informationcenter. The information center includes a data storage unit, a sensorunit, and a data transmitter.

In U.S. Pat. No. 6,922,138 (Jul. 26, 2005) there is disclosed a vehiclespecific messaging apparatus and method. This system is intended forproviding directed advertising or information messages specific toindividual persons or vehicles, or for providing unsolicited advertisingor information messages to one or more occupants of anonymous vehicles.The system encompasses a sensing and evaluation mechanism to detectpersons or vehicles, in conjunction with a billboard or other displaydevice capable of delivering a specific message to one or moreindividuals.

In U.S. Pat. No. 6,889,139 (May 3, 2005) there is disclosed a system andmethod for mobile data processing and transmission. The system includesan interface unit with a processor, a positioning subsystem coupling toa first antenna and to the processor, and a remote data end pointelectrically coupled to the interface unit.

Most of the known systems and methods for mobile data processing andtransmission, including said three U.S. patents, have at least one dataend point, the information center (host) and transmission of data fromthe information center to data end points. All known systems and methodsfor mobile data processing and transmission have only one canal fortransmission of all kinds of data.

Communication between vehicle data end points and the informationcenter, and data transmission are very slow (less than 10 kb per sec).That is a problem. In the present invention this problem is solved byincluding in the system a middleman unit (proxy) between the informationcenter and the data end points. The difference between types of data andtransmitting them by different canals, allow greatly to increase thespeed of transmission and achieve transmission speed of more then 100 mbper second.

If in the systems and methods for mobile data processing andtransmission a middleman unit (proxy) is not used between theinformation center and the data end point, it is almost impossible totransmit large scale data on-line.

The control-information system (1) for mass transportation vehicles (6)according to the present invention is shown on FIG. 1 and includes:

-   -   an information center or server (2) for serving and collecting        data for data end points (5);    -   a manager unit (3) used for managing the control-information        system (1): entering, changing companies, contracts, medias,        locations, news and settings, and also can control the        information center (2) or data end points (5);    -   a proxy (4),    -   a plurality of data end points (5), while on each mass        transportation vehicle (6) included in the control-information        system (1), there is only one data end point (5).

In the preferred version of the control-information system (1),commercials are being displayed in mass transportation vehicles (6) onthe roads, railway or railway stations, corresponding a defined spot.Transmitting advertisements, for example for shops and restaurantsnearby the stations on the way, or advertisements regarding specificgoods, must be shown at the right moment of time and in the specificplace. Transmitting advertisements to passengers of mass transportationvehicles (6) by the data end points (5) in this mass transportationvehicles (6) should be done only if time, local position and text of theadvertisement are matching. The data end point (5) is a unit determiningwhen time, local position and text of the advertisement are matching andwhen the advertisement will be transmitted.

The control-information system (1) for mass transportation vehicles (6)according to the present invention is shown on FIG. 2 and includessubunits of the said main parts of the system (1).

Each data end point (5) has a GPS receiver (51) and an antenna (7) forreceiving GPS signals, a software unit (52), a narrow-band unit (53) forcommunication between the data end point (5) and the information center(2), a wide-band unit (54) for communication between the data end point(5) and the proxy (4), a display-monitor (55), a cellulary modem (56)and a wireless network antenna (8).

The location data from the GPS receiver (51) defines the longitude andthe latitude of the position of mass transportation vehicles (6).

The software unit (52) includes the following subunits:

-   -   a database (52 a),    -   a communicational manager (52 b), which is responsible for        communication with the information center or server (2) and with        the proxy (4),    -   a data manager (52 c), which is responsible for data storage,    -   a show-play manager (52 d), which controls playing commercials        and includes a commercial timer, which is used for defining the        commercial unit length (interval).

Each data end point has a two-directional communication: it receives andsends data. All kinds of data arrives at the software unit (52) ondatabase (52 a). The software unit (52), based on data of location andtime, decides:

-   -   when the narrow-band unit (53) will communicate with the        information center (2),    -   when the wide-band unit (54) will communicate with the proxy        (4),    -   when and which data to show on the display-monitor (55).

There are few reasons why the data end point (5) requests the data:

-   -   only the data end point (5) “knows” when and where it needs        specific data and then requests this data by a cellular device        (53);    -   the data end point (5) is an available during 24 hours, 7 days a        week (100% of the time);    -   this is the best way to divide the hand-shake issue to the date        end points; the hand-shake process is relatively a long process        in computer communication (can last a few seconds).

The narrow-band unit (53) on the data end point (5) is a cellulardevice, connected to a cellular modem (56). This cellular device (53)includes a transmitter (53 a) for transmitting data regarding GPSsignals and requests to the information center (2), and a receiver (53b) for receiving news and details of contracts with clients from theinformation center (2).

The wide-band unit (54) of the data end point (5) is a wireless canalreceiver for receiving movie data from the proxy (4) with a wirelessnetwork antenna (8).

Workflow in the data end point (5) is as follows:

-   -   getting current time and location data from the GPS receiver        (51),    -   checking the next item to show on the display-monitor (55)        according to location, time and requested broadcast frequency,    -   sending data to the screen of the display-monitor (55),    -   after the end of show on the display-monitor (55), returning to        get current time and location data from the GPS receiver (51).

Communication between the data end point (5) and the information center(2) is created by the communicational manager (52 b) of the data endpoint (5) for each time quota and includes:

-   -   sending data of location,    -   receiving data of current contracts,    -   receiving news.

The information center or server (2) has a database and a datamanagement unit (21), a narrow-band unit (22) for communication betweenthe information center (2) and the data end point (5), a cellular modem(23), and a wide-band unit (24) for communication between theinformation center (2) and the proxy (4).

The database and data management unit (21) of the information center (2)holds all data which is being used for the control-information system(1). The information center (2) handles all data exchange between theproxy (4) and the data end points (5). The database and data managementunit (21) include information regarding each mass transportation vehicle(6), each traffic station, every shop and restaurant nearby the stationson the way, details of contracts with clients, and other various kindsof information. All changes to this database and data management unit(21) are being done using stored procedures.

The narrow-band unit (22) on the information center (2) is a cellulardevice, connected to a cellulary modem (23). This cellular device (22)include a transmitter (22 a) for transmitting data of news and detailsof contracts with clients from the information center (2) to the dataend point (5), and a receiver (22 b) for receiving data regarding GPSsignals to the information center (2) from the data end point (5).

The workflow in the information center (2) is as follows:

-   -   defining company-client,    -   defining company's medias,    -   defining locations of the data end point (5),    -   defining company's contracts,    -   defining relevant media,    -   defining relevant points,    -   defining requested frequency,    -   preparing for usage.

The management unit (3) has 3 main parts:

-   -   a visible part (forms, panels) —objects visible to the user,    -   a data transformation part, which prepares data transferred from        or to the information center (2),    -   data exchange and a setting part, which communicates with the        information center (2).

The management unit (3) has data information regardingcompanies-clients, contracts, medias, locations, and can also controlthe data end points (5) and the information center (2). The user can adda company, a contract with this company, media of a commercial for thiscompany, and also select a location where this commercial should beshown.

The user is a skilled technician that needs to update all the technicaldata of the control-information system (1): configuration of theinformation center (2), details of the proxies (4), details of the dataend points (5) and maintain the commercial data. The user is responsibleto the maintenance of the term-system manager.

There are two types of data transferred from the information center (2)to the data end point (5):

-   -   the first type—is textual data, for example news, measured in        hundreds of bytes (up to 1 k bytes or a few kb); this type of        data is sent directly from the information center (2) to the        data end point (5);    -   the second type is multimedia data or any other “big” files such        as big text files and/or applications measured in many kb (up to        100 mb); this type of data will be transmitted throughout an        intermediate unit—a middleman between the information center (2)        and the data end point (5); if this type of data will be sent        directly from the information center (2) to the data end point        (5), it, will cause a bottle-neck when more then one of the data        end points (5) will try to receive data.

To eliminate the said appearance of a bottle-neck, thecontrol-information system (1) according to the present inventionincludes the proxy (4). For receiving the new multimedia data or anyother “big” files from the information center (2) to the proxy (4), ahigh-frequency band (wide band) is being used by a wire line canal, andfor sending this data from the proxy (4) to the data end point (5), awide-band of a wireless canal is being used.

Actually, the proxy (4) behaves as a warehouse storing data from theinformation center (2) for usage by the data end points (5).

When certain data in the information center (2) is ready, communicationis created with the proxy (4) and data is being sent to the proxy (4).The difference between types of data and transmitting them by differentcanals, allow greatly to increase transmission speed and achievestransmitting more then 100 mb per second.

The proxy (4) has a data storage unit (41), a wide-band receiver (42)for communication between the proxy (4) and the information center (2),and a wide-band transmitter (43) for communication between the proxy (4)and the data end point (5).

The wide-band receiver (42) is inside a wire canal, connecting the proxy(4) with the information center (2). Communication between the proxy (4)and the information center (2) is created by the information center (2)when certain data is ready and that data is sent to the proxy (4). Theconnection between the information center (2) and the proxy (4) can beany wide band alternative, for example it can be satellitecommunication.

The wide-band transmitter (43) is inside a wireless canal with anantenna (9). Communication between the proxy (4) and the data end point(5) is created by the data end point (5), and the wireless canaloperates only when the vehicle (6) with the data end point (5) comesnear the proxy (4), for example in the central bus station. During thiscommunication the data end points (5) receive new medias from the proxy(4) and activate contracts related to these medias.
